John Green, managing director of Ogilvy Government Relations, is former deputy chief of staff to Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) and currently serves as the McCain campaign's liaison to congress. He has also served as executive director of the New Republican Majority Fund political action committee and as campaign manager for Rep. Chip Pickering (R-MS).[1] Recent clients include AFLAC, Hess, Deutsche Post, UPS, Motorola, Verizon and the European Aeronautic Defense & Space Company (EADS).[2] His work for EADS came under scrutiny recently after it was revealed that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) had written letters to the Defense Department asking it to reconsider a contracting requirement seen as disadvantageous to EADS. Shortly thereafter, the Defense Department made the requested change, and EADS eventually won the $35 billion contract to manufacture the next generation of in-flight refueling tanker planes.[3] The Government Accountability Office later upheld Boeing's appeal and the project will be rebid.[4] As a bundler, he has raised at least $50,000 for McCain's presidential campaign, according to information released by the campaign.[5]
